SCIATICA TREATMENT
Our chiropractors can help treat your sciatica.
Lower back pain and sciatica are the most common condition we see at Wholesome Health and every day we are changing lives through our treatments. Do you have numbness, tingling and pain from your back all the way to your toes? Then it’s likely you’re suffering from sciatica.
Cause of Sciatica
Sciatica can arise from several causes, including slipped discs + disc herniations This can lead to pain and discomfort that can interfere with everyday life and enjoyment.
Most of the causes of sciatica are very treatable. The first step is to find out what is causing your sciatica.
What we can do to help
During your consultation, one of our experienced chiropractors will gain a complete understanding of your experience with sciatica as well as provide a full spinal, neurological and functional exam. This ensures they know the root cause of your problem.
Together with your chiropractor, you will discuss your treatment options and they will explain your treatment recommendation aimed at giving you the most effective pain relief as well as how to stop your sciatica coming back.
We are here to help you live pain-free again.
Our holistic approach means that we will consider all factors of your lifestyle, and offer personalised treatment designed to get you feeling your best and keeping you that way.
The benefits of chiropractic for sciatica
Targeted Pain Relief
Sciatica can arise from irritation, inflammation or compression to the nerve. We aim to remove the compression to the sciatic nerve, reduce your pain and starting the healing process
Natural Treatment
All our adjustments use nothing but forces from our hands. We aim to aid the body’s ability to heal by helping the nervous system to work at its best. We understand that medication masks pain, and appreciate how important it is to know how your body is feeling so you can look after it better.
Holistic Approach to Care
We treat your entire body - we understand that your knee and ankle may be sore with sciatica – so we treat them as well.
Long-Term Thinking:
By restoring joint function, we aim to help with not only your back pain, but also to address underlying spinal alignment issues that may have contributed to the problem in the first place. Good joint health is important for aging and living a pain-free life.
Preventative Thinking:
We aim to keep your entire body working at its best - so you have resilience when it comes to day to day stresses. We discuss measures that we can put in place to reduce the risk of your sciatica returning.
Why are our backs so important?
Our spines are uniquely designed to protect the nervous system – the spinal cord. To do this effectively, the spine needs to move, twist, and turn properly, allowing the nerves to function optimally.
The nervous system plays a vital role in our body’s ability to heal and recover from the daily stresses and postures we experience. Like a domino effect, each spinal bone relies on its neighbouring bone to function correctly.
At Wholesome Chiropractor, we focus on ensuring that all your spinal joints, as well as the joints in your arms and legs, work together efficiently, helping you feel your best every day.
